Explanation:
Pömppö means that it is bulging and rounded. Small children often have bulging bellies, and a pregnant woman's belly is definitely "pömppö" towards the end of the pregnancy, too.

distended


Explanation:
This sounds like a medical report of some sort, so in this context, I'd probably go for a "distended abdomen".
